1. In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who then is greater in the kingdom of Heaven?
|
1. At G1722 the same G1565 time G5610 came G4334 the G3588 disciples G3101 unto Jesus G2424 , saying G3004 , Who G5101 G686 is G2076 the greatest G3187 in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 ?
|
|
2. And having called forward a little child, Jesus set him in their midst.
|
2. And G2532 Jesus G2424 called G4341 a little child G3813 unto him, and G2532 set G2476 him G846 in G1722 the midst G3319 of them G846 ,
|
|
3. And He said, Truly I say to you, Unless you convert and become as the little children, not at all can you enter into the kingdom of Heaven.
|
3. And G2532 said G2036 , Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Except G3362 ye be converted G4762 , and G2532 become G1096 as G5613 little children G3813 , ye shall not G3364 enter G1525 into G1519 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
4. Then whoever will humble himself as this little child, this one is the greater in the kingdom of Heaven.
|
4. Whosoever G3748 therefore G3767 shall humble G5013 himself G1438 as G5613 this G5124 little child G3813 , the same G3778 is G2076 greatest G3187 in G1722 the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 .
|
|
5. And whoever will receive one such little child in My name receives Me.
|
5. And G2532 whoso G3739 G1437 shall receive G1209 one G1520 such G5108 little child G3813 in G1909 my G3450 name G3686 receiveth G1209 me G1691 .
|
|
6. But whoever causes one of these little ones believing in Me to offend, it is better for him that a millstone turned by an ass be hung on his neck, and he be sunk in the depth of the sea.
|
6. But G1161 whoso G3739 G302 shall offend G4624 one G1520 of these G5130 little ones G3398 which believe G4100 in G1519 me G1691 , it were better G4851 for him G846 that G2443 a millstone G3458 G3684 were hanged G2910 about G1909 his G846 neck G5137 , and G2532 that he were drowned G2670 in G1722 the G3588 depth G3989 of the G3588 sea G2281 .
|
|
7. Woe to the world from its offenses! It is a necessity for the offenses to come, yet woe to that man through whom the offense comes!
|
7. Woe G3759 unto the G3588 world G2889 because of offenses G4625 ! for G1063 it must needs be G2076 G318 that offenses G4625 come G2064 ; but G4133 woe G3759 to that G1565 man G444 by G1223 whom G3739 the G3588 offense G4625 cometh G2064 !
|
|
8. And if your hand or your foot offends you, cut it off and throw it from you; it is good for you to enter into life lame or maimed, than having two hands or two feet to be thrown into the everlasting fire.
|
8. Wherefore G1161 if G1487 thy G4675 hand G5495 or G2228 thy G4675 foot G4228 offend G4624 thee G4571 , cut them off G1581 G846 , and G2532 cast G906 them from G575 thee G4675 : it is G2076 better G2570 for thee G4671 to enter G1525 into G1519 life G2222 halt G5560 or G2228 maimed G2948 , rather than G2228 having G2192 two G1417 hands G5495 or G2228 two G1417 feet G4228 to be cast G906 into G1519 everlasting G166 fire G4442 .
|
|
9. And if your eye offends you, pluck it out and throw it from you; for it is good for you to enter into life one-eyed, than having two eyes to be thrown into the Hell of fire.
|
9. And G2532 if G1487 thine G4675 eye G3788 offend G4624 thee G4571 , pluck it out G1807 G846 , and G2532 cast G906 it from G575 thee G4675 : it is G2076 better G2570 for thee G4671 to enter G1525 into G1519 life G2222 with one eye G3442 , rather G2228 than having G2192 two G1417 eyes G3788 to be cast G906 into G1519 hell G1067 fire G4442 .
|
|
10. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in Heaven continually look on the face of My Father in Heaven.
|
10. Take heed G3708 that ye despise G2706 not G3361 one G1520 of these G5130 little ones G3398 ; for G1063 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 in G1722 heaven G3772 their G846 angels G32 do always G1223 G3956 behold G991 the G3588 face G4383 of my G3450 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
11. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.
|
11. For G1063 the G3588 Son G5207 of man G444 is come G2064 to save G4982 that which was lost G622 .
|
|
12. What do you think? If there be to any man a hundred sheep, and one of them strays away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains, and having gone he seeks the one having strayed?
|
12. How G5101 think G1380 ye G5213 ? if G1437 a G5100 man G444 have G1096 a hundred G1540 sheep G4263 , and G2532 one G1520 of G1537 them G846 be gone astray G4105 , doth he not G3780 leave G863 the G3588 ninety and nine G1768 , and goeth G4198 into G1909 the G3588 mountains G3735 , and G2532 seeketh G2212 that which is gone astray G4105 ?
|
|
13. And if he happens to find it, truly I say to you that he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine not having gone astray.
|
13. And G2532 if G1437 so be G1096 that he find G2147 it G846 , verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , he G3754 rejoiceth G5463 more G3123 of G1909 that G846 sheep, than G2228 of G1909 the G3588 ninety and nine G1768 which went not astray G4105 G3361 .
|
|
14. So it is not the will before your Father in Heaven that one of these little ones should perish.
|
14. Even so G3779 it is G2076 not G3756 the will G2307 of G1715 your G5216 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven G3772 , that G2443 one G1520 of these G5130 little ones G3398 should perish G622 .
|
|
15. But if your brother may sin against you, go and reprove him between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.
|
15. Moreover G1161 if G1437 thy G4675 brother G80 shall trespass G264 against G1519 thee G4571 , go G5217 and G2532 tell him his fault G1651 G846 between G3342 thee G4675 and G2532 him G846 alone G3441 : if G1437 he shall hear G191 thee G4675 , thou hast gained G2770 thy G4675 brother G80 .
|
|
16. But if he does not hear, take one or two more with you, "so that on the mouth of two" or "three witnesses every word may stand". Deut. 19:15
|
16. But G1161 if G1437 he will not G3361 hear G191 thee, then take G3880 with G3326 thee G4675 one G1520 or G2228 two G1417 more G2089 , that G2243 in G1909 the mouth G4720 of two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 witnesses G3144 every G3956 word G4487 may be established G2476 .
|
|
17. But if he fails to hear them, tell it to the assembly. And if he also fails to hear the assembly, let him be to you as the nations and the tax collector.
|
17. And G1161 if G1437 he shall neglect to hear G3878 them G846 , tell G2036 it unto the G3588 church G1577 : but G1161 if G1437 he neglect to hear G3878 the G3588 church G1577 , let him be G2077 unto thee G4671 as G5618 a heathen man G1482 and G2532 a publican G5057 .
|
|
18. Truly I say to you, Whatever you bind on the earth will be, having been bound in Heaven. And whatever you loose on the earth will be, having been loosed in Heaven.
|
18. Verily G281 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , Whatsoever G3745 G1437 ye shall bind G1210 on G1909 earth G1093 shall be G2071 bound G1210 in G1722 heaven G3772 : and G2532 whatsoever G3745 G1437 ye shall loose G3089 on G1909 earth G1093 shall be G2071 loosed G3089 in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
19. Again I say to you, If two of you agree on earth as to anything, whatever they shall ask, it shall be to them from My Father in Heaven.
|
19. Again G3825 I say G3004 unto you G5213 , That G3754 if G1437 two G1417 of you G5216 shall agree G4856 on G1909 earth G1093 as touching G4012 any G3956 thing G4229 that G3739 G1437 they shall ask G154 , it shall be done G1096 for them G846 of G3844 my G3450 Father G3962 which G3588 is in G1722 heaven G3772 .
|
|
20. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.
|
20. For G1063 where G3757 two G1417 or G2228 three G5140 are G1526 gathered together G4863 in G1519 my G1699 name G3686 , there G1563 am G1510 I in G1722 the midst G3319 of them G846 .
|
|
21. Then coming up to Him, Peter said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Until seven times?
|
21. Then G5119 came G4334 Peter G4074 to him G846 , and said G2036 , Lord G2962 , how oft G4212 shall my G3450 brother G80 sin G264 against G1519 me G1691 , and G2532 I forgive G863 him G846 ? till G2193 seven times G2034 ?
|
|
22. Jesus said to him, I do not say to you, Until seven times, but, Until seventy times seven.
|
22. Jesus G2424 saith G3004 unto him G846 , I say G3004 not G3756 unto thee G4671 , Until G2193 seven times G2034 : but, Until G2193 seventy times G1441 seven G2033 .
|
|
23. Because of this the kingdom of Heaven has been compared to a man, a king, who desired to take account with his slaves.
|
23. Therefore G1223 G5124 is the G3588 kingdom G932 of heaven G3772 likened unto G3666 a certain king G444 G935 , which G3739 would G2309 take G4868 account G3056 of G3326 his G848 servants G1401 .
|
|
24. And he having begun to reckon, one debtor of ten thousand talents was brought near to him.
|
24. And G1161 when he G846 had begun G756 to reckon G4868 , one G1520 was brought G4374 unto him G846 , which owed G3781 him ten thousand G3463 talents G5007 .
|
|
25. But he not having any to repay, the lord commanded him to be sold, also his wife and children, and all things, as much as he had, even to pay back.
|
25. But G1161 forasmuch as he G846 had G2192 not G3361 to pay G591 , his G846 lord G2962 commanded G2753 him G846 to be sold G4097 , and G2532 his G846 wife G1135 , and G2532 children G5043 , and G2532 all G3956 that he G3745 had G2192 , and G2532 payment to be made G591 .
|
|
26. Then having fallen down, the slave bowed the knee to him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay all to you.
|
26. The G3588 servant G1401 therefore G3767 fell down G4098 , and worshiped G4352 him G846 , saying G3004 , Lord G2962 , have patience G3114 with G1909 me G1698 , and G2532 I will pay G591 thee G4671 all G3956 .
|
|
27. And being filled with pity, the lord of that slave released him and forgave him the loan.
|
27. Then G1161 the G3588 lord G2962 of that G1565 servant G1401 was moved with compassion G4697 and loosed G630 him G846 , and G2532 forgave G863 him G846 the G3588 debt G1156 .
|
|
28. But having gone out, that slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him a hundred denarii. And seizing him, he choked him, saying, Pay me whatever you owe.
|
28. But G1161 the G3588 same G1565 servant G1401 went out G1831 , and found G2147 one G1520 of his G846 fellow servants G4889 , which G3739 owed G3784 him G846 a hundred G1540 pence G1220 : and G2532 he laid hands G2902 on him G846 , and took him by the throat G4155 , saying G3004 , Pay G591 me G3427 that G3748 thou owest G3784 .
|
|
29. Then having fallen down at his feet, his fellow slave begged him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay all to you.
|
29. And G3767 his G846 fellowservant G4889 fell down G4098 at G1519 his G846 feet G4228 , and besought G3870 him G846 , saying G3004 , Have patience G3114 with G1909 me G1698 , and G2532 I will pay G591 thee G4671 all G3956 .
|
|
30. But he would not, but having gone away he threw him into prison until he should pay back the amount owing.
|
30. And G1161 he G3588 would G2309 not G3756 : but G235 went G565 and cast G906 him G846 into G1519 prison G5438 , till G2193 he should pay G591 the G3588 debt G3784 .
|
|
31. But his fellow slaves, seeing the things happening, they were greatly grieved. And having come they reported to their lord all the things happening.
|
31. So G1161 when his G846 fellowservants G4889 saw G1492 what was done G1096 , they were very sorry G3076 G4970 , and G2532 came G2064 and told G1285 unto their G848 lord G2962 all G3956 that was done G1096 .
|
|
32. Then having called him near, his lord said to him, Wicked slave! I forgave you all that debt, since you begged me.
|
32. Then G5119 his G846 lord G2962 , after that he had called G4341 him G846 , said G3004 unto him G846 , O thou wicked G4190 servant G1401 , I forgave G863 thee G4671 all G3956 that G1565 debt G3782 , because G1893 thou desiredst G3870 me G3165 :
|
|
33. Ought you not also to have mercy on your fellow slave, as I also had mercy?
|
33. Shouldest G1163 not G3756 thou G4571 also G2532 have had compassion G1653 on thy G4675 fellow servant G4889 , even G2532 as G5613 I G1473 had pity G1653 on thee G4571 ?
|
|
34. And being angry, his lord delivered him up to the tormentors until he pay back all that debt to him.
|
34. And G2532 his G846 lord G2962 was wroth G3710 , and delivered G3860 him G846 to the G3588 tormentors G930 , till G2193 he G3739 should pay G591 all G3956 that was due G3784 unto him G846 .
|
|
35. So also My heavenly Father will do to you unless each of you from your hearts forgive his brother their deviations.
|
35. So likewise G3779 shall my G3450 heavenly G2032 Father G3962 do G4160 also G2532 unto you G5213 , if G3362 ye from G575 your G5216 hearts G2588 forgive G863 not G3362 every one G1538 his G848 brother G80 their G846 trespasses G3900 .
